Slipknot have "appeared" in a new video, ahead of their US tour.
Sure, you're used to seeing Slipknot wearing their masks, but you're probably not used to seeing them quite like this. YouTube team SockPuppetParody, who regularly make parody music videos starring socks, have just given the sock puppet treatment to Slipknot, or as they call them, Socknot, as the "band" perform 'Wait And Bleed' (or as they call it, 'Wait And Bleach'). Take a look at the video below:
In a press release, the creators of the video said: “When socks are used as rags, they’re liable to go insane. These socks have reached their tearing point. Now they’ve snapped and formed the ultimate garage band, Socknot! The band is made up of misfit socks that have been all but used up. Frayed by the constant abuse, they have channeled that insanity into their hit single, ‘Wait and Bleach.’ This mosh pit of insanity hits you like a washboard and doesn’t let up.”
Slipknot will be kicking off a US tour this April, beginning with a show at Fort Rock Festival in Fort Myers, FL on April 25th, and finishing on September 5 at Gexa Energy Pavilion in Dallas, TV on September 5. Tickets are on sale now.
